Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party

The Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party (CPWDP), also known as the Minzhudang, is a socialist political party in China which was founded in November 1927.

It was founded in 1927 by left-wing Kuomintang nationalists and expelled members of the Communist Party of China who sought to form a major third party in the country. In August 1930, the CPWDP became a cohesive party under Deng Yanda, and, after Deng was secretly executed by Chiang Kai-shek in 1931, the party went underground. Under communist ule, the CPWDP became a satellite party of the CPC and one of eight legal parties in mainland China.
